situation drawn up by the Army. “We postulated a native uprising starting in Mozambique and into Tanzania,” spreading Counihan explained. “We ~ then planned what we would do if we were called in, say, by Nyerere to help. We try to consider how we would act under specific conditions.” Counihan emphasized that the situation was purely “imaginery” and was designed for training purposes only. According to the participants in the training exercises, various situations were simulated to which responses were formulated and applied. From this game playing, refined approaches and plans were developed in case the “play” situations someday F turned into reality. A series of four documents were produced as a result of the 357th special training. The first was a general introduction to Tanzania organized according to the original divisions of research. The second was a detailed sta‘tement of the hypothetical situation postulated for the 357th’s training exercises. The third consisted of various written solutions prepared by the unit during their research and the 1969 training exercises. Finally, a revised and expanded version of the original general introduction was produced which incorporated the information learned during the unit’s study and practice. ARG, hbwever, has been unable to obtain these documents, but have been assured of their existence by members of the unit. The 357th’s special training is now completed. Its documents, library, and expertise are now available to the US army for any possible future use. The purpose of the training was summarized by Counihan : “By studying these countries carefully, we want to avoid the mistakes we’ve made in Vietnaln of not really working with the people. We want to know a country if we are ever thrown in.” ARG knows of no present plans to throw the US army into Tanzania.

Liberate the library? Students on this campus have won at least temporary equality with faculty in book borrowing procedures in U of W libraries. As cf September 7, a number of policy changes will take effect, the main of which will be to strip faculty members of the right to hold a library book indefinitly. At present, faculty members loan books for an automatic fourmonth period. Many have held books past the four months, some abusing the privilege as far as virtually incorporating a book into their private office library or passing the book around to students and friends. , Under the new policy, faculty members will be able to check out books for only the two-week period extended to anyone else. The new policies were passed by the university library committee through a recommendation by a sub-committee and recently affirmed by the university council. The new equality has, predictably, come under quick fire, most vocally so far by members of the philosophy faculty. Brian Hendley, associate prof of philosphy, suggested in a letter to that the new the chevron regulations were smuggled into effect during a summer session while no one was looking. But John Battye, one of the prime movers of the policy originally and a faculty rep on the library council. denies that, charge emphatically. “That’s just not true,” Battye told the chevron this week. _ ’

This year’s orientation program offers a staggering round of social activities, including daily pubs, many dances, movies and special event 5 carefully designed to brighten the days and warm the nights of unhappy and disoriented freshmen. Orientation begins on labour day and continues to the Saturday following the beginning of classes. The details of the program are listed on page 4. In addition to the federation’s generous offerings, the math and engineering societies are planning supplementary programs for their people. a Included in the orientation activities are some panels and many guest speakers-Robert. Nixion, David Lewis, and Germaine Greer are almost certain to come, and many others are being lined up.

Also, the faculty has gotten used to the extra priviledges, and probably will not \give them up easily, he said. One EMS library worker said she knew professors who still have books out from as far back as 1967. EMS circulation assistant Gail Dewey told the chevron that the result of the new rulings would be that thelibraries could keep better track of the books with a uniform borrowing procedure. d“With the computer system, it’ll be almost impossible to work it any other way,” she aaid. Another library worker predicted that the new rules would not last long. “The library’s afraid of faculty members and they’ve really gotten away with murder with the regulations. It’ll probably be changed back if pressure is applied.”

Gays promise . According to gay liberation president John Dunbar, the homophile club on this campus has a “great future”. Gay lib was organized four months ago “to provide an alternative by which (a person) may decide what is the most personal, relevant and meaningful sexual experience” he is to hold. Dunbar regrets that most of the joiners seem to be people with no emotional hangups. He is concerned about the frightened and alienated student With homosexual tendencies who feels he has no nlace to go. There is also a

:the chevron. Until 1969 the

university of Waterloo granted tenure to faculty members without any formal policy. However, according to the document drawn up at that time and still in use,. it became “desirable to institute a clearer policy on the terms of tenure.” The stated purpose of granting tenure is to “protect the faculty member from unreasonable pressures which may be generated by political or other forces.” This seems to suggest that . untenured faculty members lack this sort. of protection. Otherwise the faculty member would gain nothing in this respect ‘upon obtaining tenure. As professor G. W.. Bennett, president of the faculty association told the chevron: “there are no restrictions on the course of research activity which a man may persue, subject to the laws of the country.” This statement refers to all members of faculty. \ However, the tenured faculty member does have a sort of increased academic freedom : external granting agencies, such as the national research’ council, are more likely to commitlarger sums of money over longer periods of time for long term research projects if the faculty member concerned has a long term commitment (tenure) from the university. Since the granting of tenure involves a lifetime comtmitment to a professor, the evaluation procedure should be g very thorough and probe into all areas of a person’s activity in the university. The tenure document does not elaborate on this evaluation procedure,. but simply states that recommendations for or against tenure are made by the department chairman. Such a recom,mendation must be made within five years of a professors appointment. APPARENTLY NO GENERAL criteria exist regarding the professor’s distribution of his efforts between teaching and research or regarding the sort of standards that must be reached in

each of these. Bennett explained that these criteria could depend upon the department concerned and upon the professor’s role in its program. However, it is clear that evaluating a professor’s research efforts would be much easier than evaluating his teaching at least under the present efforts, arrangement. Bennett agreed that he knows of no. department chairman who sits in on his colleagues’ lectures in order to evaluate their teaching. No chatiman is’ bound to consider the results of student surveys or anticalendars, which vary greatly in quality anyway. The point to be made is that once a professor is tenured it is very difficult to

get rid of him. Perhaps the role of a . professor should be r&examined. With the- vagueness of present policy in this area,perhaps many excellent lecturers are being forced to waste their time on research they really don’t want’ to do and many excellent researchers are being forced to bore classes with their incompetent teaching. WHILE THE CONCEPT of a teaching professor is being loudly acclaimed, it seems that the tenure policy would leave these people in a very insecure position. -As an indication of the real trends Bennett suggested that the promotion from associate to full prefessor is being made with increased emphasis upon a person’s research activity. *

BENNETT SUMMARIZED the difference between tenured and untenured faculty members : “the main difference is that the tenured faculty member has the right to a very detailed review with respect to termination of his appointment.” While untenured faculty may be tenured at any time no definite commitment is required until. the end of five years. If a person’s appointment expires before the end of five years and he is refused, ten&e, his case is literally in the hands ‘of the administration. This could obviously be abused since all untenured new faculty must eventually go past this point. Thus although tenure protects academic freedom, it could protect only approved people. Logically this could result in a. sort of’ mbreeding that grants everyone freedom to do whatever he wants as long as its what the administrators want. The possibility of this sort of c irruption could be avoided if everyone, ti &ing lecturers and other untenured faculty, had access to the same extensive review process afforded to tenured faculty when dismissed. PRESIDENT MATTHEWS recently claimed that faculty devote the majority of their time to teaching and related student services. There is supposed to. be an increased em&Ilasis , on teaching in today’s schools ,z “teaching universities.” If these things are true, then it would seem logical to grant students a voice in the formal, tenuring procedures. The emphasis is on the transmission of information to students and the evaluation of problems by students. Thus these people should have a say in . who goes about transmitting the information or leading the discussions. If this is not desirable then it is at least desirable that students gain some formal. assurance that teaching competence is being placed foremost in. securing teachers. At present they lack this assurance.

Administrath standsfirm I ’

dismissed on any of these grounds without a review of the case before a board of four tenured factility members acceptable to both the professor concerned and the visepresident academic.. The tenure policy is designed to ensure _ New faculty are appointed on a definite that the university is a place for “free, term, probationary term, or tenured responsible enquiry”. and that the . basis. Definite term appointments are for academic freedom of individual faculty one to four years and do not normally lead members is protected. Granting of tenure . to permanent positions. If a professor has implies that the university “has not received tenure after five years of relinquished the freedom to terminate” a service and is asked to serve a sixth, his faculty member’s appointment “before case must be reviewed by-a committee the normal period ofretirement except for consisting of the vice president academic cause and under the conditions specified . and three tenured faculty members below. ’ ’ selected in consultation with the faculty Adequate cause for termination means exective committee. “service to the university which falls noticeably below a reasonable standard This recommendation is reviewed by a and, specifictilly to include any of the faculty tenure committee appointed by the dean. following : (a) persistent neglect of duty; * This committee recommends tenure, (b) inability to carry out reasonable termination after one more year, or a -duties ; further probationary period of two years.

Hockey canada will provide 86,000 dollars in scholarships and bursaries to young players across canada in 1971-72 to assist them in furthering their education and, at the same time, maintain their interest and proficiency in hockey. Scholarships are valued at 2,000 dollars each and are renewable for up to four years providing recipients have respected both their educational and hockey programs. There were 16 scholarships and 82 bursaries awarded across Canada. These include scholarship recipients from last year whose grants have been renewed for the 1971-72 academic year.

Many of the sisters believe that their future role -will not be in the schools. Instead they will participate in a number of new careers geared to the talents of the individual nun and the needs of the community in which she lives. Some sisters have already moved out of their convents and into the universities, slums or other areas in which they work. For the past two years the order has been in a state of flux and has gone through a period of great confusion. This period has ended and the sisters are now trying to achieve a more relevant role in the modern world. The community has already issued a position paper on war, race and poverty. More un-

will he forthcoming as there are several factions growing within the community as more individuals express their ideas on. day to day events. The order boasts of at least one active feminist in the United States, and she advocates that the order rid itself of male Church domination. She has stirred up controversy in the states as well as within the congregation. But it is impossible to call all nuns feminists as it is impossible to label them all conservatives. The stress in the modern convent is in each sister’s expression of her opinions as she experiences the demands of her career and the needs of the community around her. doubtedly

Bolivia BOLIVIA ( IIEE > The university council of the university of San Simon, Cochabamba, passed a resolution on july 2 that called for the inclusion of workers and peasants in the administration of the institution. The unusual proposal followed a suggestion to this effect adopted in mid-june by a committee on university reform which had been set up to consider ways and means the university of “projecting toward the people.” It would appear, however, that the planned of workers and “integration” peasants was accepted not solely on its merits but in response to strong pressure and in order to prevent the use of force by militant supporters of the idea. Council members were concerned to avoid a repetition of the incidents at the university of Tomas Frias, Potosi, where almost two thirds of the university council was abruptly replaced by representatives of various labor organizations miners, farm laborers, industrial workers, and others. Within the context of the nationwide introduction of university reforms, the situation at San Simon is of particular interest since it is there that the greatest efforts are being made to use “dialogue, discussion and study” rather than the violent “university revolutions” that have broken out on other bolivian campuses. With this peaceful approach in mind, the . rectors and student leaders ‘of all bolivian universities met on june 25 and 26 and assigned San Simon the task of studying the question of and incorporating workers peasants into the administration of the universities at the national level. The concrete proposal. to do

so was then referred to the fourth congress of universities that took place in Trinidad (Bolivia) from july 4 to 11. The congress accepted the principle of worker : peasant participation but voted to set up a special commission of professors an.d students from the eight bolivian universities to consider the entire matter in detail and to report back within 60 to 90 days-to a scheduled extraordinary congress of universities.

China PEKING (IIEE) - China has once again forcefully expressed its contention that education should be more closely linked to the interests of the workers and peasants. The future of education lies in “bringing it to the masses” rather than pushing the masses “up” to any artificial standards of academic ability, Chinese authorities insist. The theme was stressed recently in an article in the leading communist party journal, Red Flag, which ,dealt with methods for training teachers - for urban primary and middle level schools. In the past, the idea of transforming teachers into basically “worker-teachers” was opposed from both the political left 2nd right, according to the article. Some proposed “doing away with teachers” altogether, and others were totally opposed to workers performing teaching functions. Since 1968, Red Flag reported, a new movement has grown -up whereby outstanding workers are sent to school to work as teachers, some even becoming full-time teachers. The city of Wuhsi was given as an example; there, 30 per cent of all middle-school teachers are worker-teachers. The

society

gained movement is also being promoted in factories where teams have been organized to select some of the better workers to engage in teaching work. Red Flag pointed out that not only does this approach bring the direct experience of the workers into the teaching process, but that the workers affect in turn the outlook and methods of the nonworker teachers. Among other things, the workers are able to mix more easily with the students and thus destroy the concept that the “teacher should be unquestionably respected by the students”. This establishes a new, more spontaneous relationship between the teachers and students. One thing remains unchanged, however; the article stated clearly that the prime responsibility of both workers and teachers is to raise the level of their political knowledge. For the teachers, this means that, in addition to their ideological studies, they must involve themselves directly in production and integrate themselves with the workers and peasants. While the Red Flag article was concerned ,with urban teachers, several other recent reports have emphasized the universality of the demand to bring teachers back to the working class. The new china news agency, Hsinhua, reported on july 1 that the kwangtung teachers college had organized “mobile groups” to send to rural areas. The groups help tain teachers in these areas and train local groups to act in their place when the teaching students have left. While most of the ones they work with are already teachers, some new teachers are recruited by the groups. Finally, to complete their education, the groups also work in the fields with the peasants.

to welcome

Between now and 1976 this fall’s freshmen will spend, if all goes well, about thirty-two months on campus at. Waterloo. During this period you will doubtless want to do more than just study and campus pubs. The attend engineering society will provide you with the opportunity. society The engineering membership consists of virtually all undergraduate engineering students and its affairs are run by the society council which has a representative from each of the engineering classes. If you were involved in student government in high school and wish to continue to be involved while at Waterloo, then you are just the person that is needed as a class rep. Someone from the executive will be visiting your ‘class near the beginning of term to tell you how to get involved with the council. What does the engineering society do? The first thing it will do for the engineering freshmen will be to organize a field day on friday, September 10, to give you a chance to get to know each other and some of your professors. This is a really worthwhile day so don’t miss it. The rest of the activities are best the described by listing engineering society committees and the activities they are involved with. The amount that these committees undertake is limited

ARCADE MINIATURE GOLF DRIVING RANGE BUMPER CARS RESTAURANT

mainly by the number of people, such as yourselves, who are willing to work on them, so here are a few areas you may wish to get involved with. The social committee, as the name implies, organizes pubs, dances and the major weekend of the term, engineering weekend, which includes a semi-formal as well as several other events of interest. And let’s not forget engineering nite at which the boat races are held. You’ll learn more about these when you arrive, but you can be sure they don’t have anything to do with water! ! The education committee organizes lecture series and film series on semi-technical or nontechnical subjects of general interest as a break from the regular lecture -schedule, and also conducts a course . and professor evaluation each term. Publicity and publications is the group which not only takes care of the sociely’s _ publicity through posters and radio Waterloo, but also publishes a newspaper in the true engineering tradition, the engineering directory, and the engineering society handbook. The handbook will be very valuable to you as it is written primarily for freshmen and contains an enormous amount of useful information. For the athletically inclined, the

frosh athletic committee co-ordinates the engineering participation in intramural sports such as flag football, basketball, hockey and softball. cm Just in case you aren’t yet aware of it, engineers have a fine reputation on any university campus and Waterloo is no exception. The action committee has the pleasurable responsibility for arranging such activities and capers as are required. to maintain this reputation and is also the guardian of the rigid tool, mascot of the engineering society. While most of the above are concerned with the rest and recreation aspect, the academic side has not been forgotten, as the society ensures that there are student representatives on almost all the committees within the faculty to see. that we get a fair shake in the course and lecture aspect. As you can see, the engineering society is involved in a good many endeavors. The society is the most’ active of all the faculty societies and it is hoped that you will help it continue in this way. If you are interested in any of the activities, have _ any suggestions for new programs, or any problems, drop into the society office (room E213(M), you’ll always find people willing to rap.

February

referendum

Vote to decide University of Waterloo students will go to the polls in february 1972 for what amounts to a vote of confidence in the federation of students. This was made official in late july when Rick Page, federation president, announced that a student fees compulsory referendum will be held on campus february 23, 1972. Page had promised a referendum in an announcement in june. A fee of 22 dollars presently collected student to support programs and staff.

per year is from each federation

A Vote to abolish the COmpUkOry fee would most certainly mean the end of the federation also. Carl Sulliman, vice-president of the federation, told the chevron that a negative vote would also mean the end of student voice in university activities and programs.

Sulliman stated, “Students are involved on advisory levels and as such their contribution is termed This is ‘input’. no longer satisfactory. What is required is an authentic partnership of faculty, staff and students.” “There must be student voting members on both board and senate to indicate a true partnership, something the federation of students has been and will continue to actualize.” He termed the present structure a monolithic myth. “The senate has an empire that they’re protecting at all costs right now and that empire is making decisions on this campus and students are not participating in that decision-making,” he said. “The referendum on fees is really asking whether the students want a federation. “I believe strongly in a federation, a student directed organization.”

Radio what?

I

Wandering down a lonely deserted road one summer eve, I caught the strange outline of what appeared to be some sort of blockhouse. As T approached with caution you understand after all nefarious deeds have been committed here on the fabled north the squat outline campus’ provoked my mind to conjure wierd thoughts. Its an experimental station of some sort, I thought. Maybe top secret, why else would it be hidden here in the woods. Gathering strength most mortals would find only through the fog of alcoholic stupor, I crept through the long grass until I heard faintly what sounded like music and then inmum bled a voice compreiiensible syllables and then more music. Encouraged by the thought that at least *the strange castle was inhabited by humanoids I pressed on. The clammy grass brushing past my face and I could almost see in a window.

loo?

A figure sat stangely hunched over a microphone with turntables and tape decks and all that sort of stuff. Aha ! It’s a clandestine radio station blasting the bureaucracy of the nation defending the poor and the downtrodden, fighting the injustices of the world, but wait they could be anarchists digging the dirt for the sake of pure trouble generating misconceptions, causing confusion and panic.

10% tiff

fees University administration president Burt Matthews told the chevron that the engineering society and the federation had apparently worked out a solution to the long-standing question and that he is, pleased with the implications of the announced referendum. “This is a student problem,” he ynidl- “I will abide by th~o~r~~~ advise that the governors does the same.” said that the Matthews university would not be able to prcylide the services of the federation without “changing the SourceS Of ‘Orne funds*” The university “would support the services it saw fit,” he said. He would still want to deal with some central groups within the student body in the event of a negative vote. Page’s announcement said that in accordance with federation bylaw number 22, section three, the results of the referendum would be binding, providing that no less than ten percent of the federation members take part in the voting. Less than that would demonstrate satisfaction with the status - quo. According to the federation announcement the referendum

But if you’d really like to know what radio Waterloo is then tread that path, tote that tape and get your bod up to radio Waterloo and do your thing. The station is endorsed by the CBC, CRTC, president Burton C. Matthews and of course Jerry Rubin.

Nix to Nixonomics U.S. president Richard Nixon’s \ recent action to float the american dollar will not create speculation . according to university of *Waterloo economics professor Harvey Graham. Graham said Wednesday in response to questioning that Nixon’s action was “implicit” devaluation of the US dollar. Explicit devaluation would have involved reducing the dollar’s value in terms of gold - in other _ words, increasing the price of gold, a move which would mean the dollar would buy less gold than said Graham. Such previously, actions w-ould have benefited other currencies, something Nixon did not want to do. Nixon’s action is the least painful to the american image at home and forces other countries to revalue their currency upwards. Graham’ said Nixon’s other economic measure of freezing wages and prices will not slow down spiralling coats. If it has any effect at all, the move will “make the people think the government means business about inflation”. Graham does not feel the move reflects any kind of incomes policy - it is merely a shortrun measure to create an impression.

Graham declined to comment on yesterday’s Canadian attempt to seek exemption from Nixon’s ten percent surcharge on imported goods, stating only that he felt Canadians would not likely be granted the exemption.

Sports

meet

The international committee on the sociology of sport will hold its third international symposium at the university of Waterloo from august 22 to 28th. Dr. Gerald S. Kenyon, dean of the school of phys ed and recreation here at uniwat is the chairman of the ~:mposium which will be truly international in scope with some 100 sport sociologists from twelve nations expected to attend. Included will be delegates . from the USSR, Romania, Poland, France, Holland and the United Kingdom, as well as North America. The theme of the symposium is “socialization and sport,” and will focus attention on the sociological aspects of sport rather than on the physiological and mechanics of performance aspects of sporting activity.

PAPER RECYCLI NG Each discard

year about

North Americans seven million cars, and 48,000,000,000 tin cans 80,000,000,000 pounds of paper. The average person throws away about a ton of solid wastes per year and the amount increases appreciably each year. More and more disposable products are made. In 1969, for example, 20,000,000,000 beverage containers, glass 453,000,ooo hair spray cans and 3l5,000,000 deodorant aerosol cans were produced in the US. Although the reality of numbers may not be comprehensible they certainly illustrate how our society wastes its resources and they poignantly suggest that we cannot continue to produce indiscriminately more and more of the so called convience products Anyone with an elementary knowledge of how compound interest works and a bit of environmental foresight appreciates that this squandering of our resources cannot persist indefinitely. Even if we were not so wasteful we would still have severe resource problems in the future because we foolishly allow materials that can be reused to be dumped and lie fallow. In the not so distant future we will be mining our present day sanitary landfill sites. What can we of this area do about the solid waste problem? Although total recovery of all the valued components of our rubbish is an exciting goal there is no way that the individual or pollution probe can change, the present values and practices of our society. Fortunately we can. make a vital start. Waste paper can be recycled easily and economically. A paper recycling industry exists, although it is diminishing. In 1945, about 35 percent of the waste paper was recycled; today we recycle about 18 percent of our waste paper. In the past year, K-W pollution probe has used Kitchener and Waterloo to initiate recycling projects. The standard query of many of the alderman was whether the amount of reusable waste paper in the area was worth considering. However, a few statistics of the local use of

Volunteers

newspaper provides the answer. The Kitchener-Waterloo Record has a net paid circulation of 57,336 and about 35,000 of these copies are sold in Kitchener and Waterloo. On the average, the weekly weight of the Record is four pounds, thus in one week 70 tons of newspapers are delivered locally and in one year about 3640 tons of K-W Records are distributed. This amount of paper and couldfill 300 boxcars represents the destruction of 62,000 trees. Currently newspapers and magazines are worth- 6 dollars a ton. Thus, if only the Records from this community were recyled, they would be worth 21,840 dollars. Of course, the above figures pertain only to the K-W Record. If one had included the Waterloo Chronicle, the Toronto papers, other newspapers and all the magazines the paper recycling potential of of this area is obviously considerable. In an attempt to convince the of Kitchener and city councils, Waterloo that municipal paper recycling is feasible. K-W pollution probe in conjunction with the tity of Waterloo conducted a short term paper recycling project during june, july and august which entailed collecting bundled newspapers and magazines from all households once a month and in Kitchener, K-W pollution probe in conjunction with Superior Sanitation (who volunteered machine and manpower) and in cooperation with the city of Kitchener conducted pilot projects in specific residential regions during the summer months. The intention of pollution probe was to persuade each city council that municipal paper recycling is feasible and worthwhile as a permanent part of their garbage disposal programs. If you wish to participate more actively in these projects and others that probe is involved in contact K-W pollution probe (7446111 ext. 3780). In addition why don’t you join pollution probe? Recycle your newspapers and magazines. 1 It is a small commitment to make for your environmen t .

Students with training in helping work others out personal, academic, or financial problems fill three hour shifts and are available informally for anyone dropping in. No red tape is involved - no hassles about forms, records, or even giving your name. Last year about 500 students came to the room from September. to mid-april. Problems varied from drug reactions to dating problems to course and calendar conflicts.

want to think it out aloud.. Sometimes too, it is easier to talk to a fellow student than to go to a professional counsellor at counselling services. The rap room gives this po,ssibility. Last year 65 volunteers took rap room shifts. As always, they are seeking new volunteers for the upcoming terms as well as inviting volunteers back from last year. There will be an organization meeting in room 113 of the campus center, thursday, September 16th at 6:00 pm to get things started. Anyone interested is invited to attend . Volunteers returning from last year are asked to drop by the rap room or counselling center when they return to campus, to leave their name and address. They would appreciate it if returning volunteers would take shifts the first couple of weeks while things are getting set up again.

It is recognized at health services that emotional satisfaction as well as good physical health are essential to the individual’s function. Health services will be working closely with counselling services ; students should feel no hesitancy in approaching either service for emotional difficulties. During the next academic year health services will sponsor several informal evening lectures and panel discusions. These will be on topical subjects such as drug abuse, birth control and abortion. The first .lecture -will be given in September by Dr. Jacqueline Frey of health services. The subject birth control - will be given in cooperation with the student run birth control center. In addition to a lecture program L’ ’” I

health services is installing an audio visual program in the waiting room. This will cover interesting health subjects such as emergency care. Health services usually has a nurse on duty 24 hours daily, and there is a doctor on call. There is usually a physician on campus between 8.30 am and 5.00 pm. During the day health services functions as a large clinic. There are several doctors employed to see the students. In addition health services houses a 12 bed infirmary. This is for patients who require continuous medical care but who are not sick enough for hospital. Health services vision clinic is opening this year. This will be operated by the school of optometry of the university and will be located in the health services building. Appointments may be made by calling the main appoin tment desk text”3541 > between 9: 00 am and 5 : 00 pm. The policy of health services is formulated by the health services committee.

Ringleaders were fined against assault and against property damage. The money was quickly raised by the entire student body and the pranks c’ontinued. A pedestrain was lassoed about the waist ‘by one of the big fellows from the west’ and with help from several others (probably from the east - certainly not Toronto) he was lifted to the second floor and laid out as a specimen for dissection.

Many of his lectures would commence: ‘Gentlemen the disease we are about to discuss is shrouded still in the deepest of mystery.’ Some graduates admit sadly today that they often wonder what the disease really was. It was useless to observe, ‘as some faculty members did, that riots in Andrew Smith’s day were quelled at the mere entrance intp the room of the principal.

Beware of coop by Nigel

Burnett

the chevron

This article is in tended primarily for those who are about to enter a co-op program. However, those students now enrolled in such a course may notice certain similarities with their own experiences and hopefully, they too will benefit from this degrading employment situation. In the fall of 1969, job notice forms were posted as usual in the them building and in obscure places in the math, physics, and engineering buildings. Through the grapevine, certainly not through any form letter issued by the co-ordination (? > department, I learned the procedure for arranging interviews. Soon the lists that stated who would be granted interviews with whom was posted. Amazingly enough, my name was on none of the dozen companies’ lists in which I had shown an interest. After awhile, I visited’ our friends on the sixkh floor and asked them, more or less, what the hell was happening. They said nothing, which at the time was quite true. I asked to see the master scheduling lists and found that I was granted\ interviews with many companies. However, I had missed several interviews due to the fact that somebody had not transferred my name from the master file to the individual posted sheets. I scheduled the rest of the interviews myself rather than trust that department again. The remaining three interviewswere with a company that wanted cheap factory labour, ConsolidatedBathurst in Portage-de-Fort, 60 miles north of Ottawa, and the Steel Company of Canada, located in Hamilton. Stelco

interview

In an interview with Dr. Grant Hines of Stelco, he explained how the first work term is spent working in a gas chromatography laboratory and the second, using optical spectographs which were on line to a pair of PDP-8 computers. The gas chromatographs were also to be placed on-line ‘in the near future’. As yet, they are still not connected and there is no scheduled program to do so. This is a typical example of Stelco’s attitude toward progress. To diverge momentarily, Dofasco, one of Stelco’s major competitors, has had moderg, relatively pollution-free basic oxygen furn’aces (BOF’s) and a computer controlled ray quantometer for over two years now. Stelco’s BOF’s are still under cons true tion and technicians have not totally implemented the ray unit after several months of effort., With some accuracy the first term was spent in a G.C. lab. However about two hours a day was spent climbing blast furnaces and taking gas and dust samples for analysis at the lab. This was not unacceptable but not highly desirable, especially when the chill factor was 40 or 50 below at ‘E’

furnace. The annoying part was that no mention of this was made in the job interview and who would think to ask if a lab job involved outside work in january? Second

term

The second term was much worse. Having been half promised a decent job involving chemical and computer instrumentation, I was very disappointed to find that not only would I be doing routine wet chemistry for four months but also, I had to work etery weekend and holiday for the 17 weeks. This is not unbearable in the winter as not a lot happens on winter weekends. Also, I was able to get a part-time job on my days off occasionally to supplement the low wage that the steel company pays. After not succeeding totally at first or second year, I was gratefu! that Stelco decided to let me return. A large part of this gratuity was due to the fact that the job situation was very bad and would, in all probability, get worse. Unfortunately, the week after I accepted a third, nonmandatory work term from Stelco, I was offered employment as a programmer at the computing center of uniwat. I hesitated to ‘let down’ Stelco because, according to Stelco, they were to give me a fascinating job involving process control using an x-ray flouresence spectrometer and subsequent interfacing‘ with a PDP-8 e computer. Instead, when I returned, they handed me the identical job as the previous term .. . and still working weekends and holidays. Working weekends and holidays in the summer is much worse than in the winter. Trips out with friends or family to parties or cottages are impossible.’ On enquiring about the new instruments. I was told they were originally expected for february but that delivery was imminent on the x-ray unit. This was in may. The machine arrived in late may and then sat outside in the rain for a couple of days. A few weeks later it was moved to its permanent location and finally hooked to utilities in july. About this time, the computers which were decided upon last spring were finally ordered. As of early august, the machine is partly operable, doing only a small fraction of its possible workload. Stelco

disgust

By the middle of june I was quite disgusted with the set-up at Stelco and I endevoured to obtain employment elsewhere. Having missed an issue of the Gazette (the university of Waterloo administration paper), I missed a chance at a chemist-technician job at uniwat. Since the computing center was hiring operators at the time, I applied and was told that I would probably be accepted. About a week or so iater’ I was phoned (on a thursday) and asked to start any time. I suggested the following monday as I felt (for some unknown reason> to work the next three days. Counting the days off coming to me, I had given Stelco seven days notice, enough

.The . new housing Mvice available soon in the future . sponsoreg by students for students

time to find a replacement for me and get him three-quarters trained. . Late Friday qfternoon, I received a phone call from the head of management-development, a Bob Haddow. He is four or five levels above my direct supervisor and apparently, had been phoning Waterloo all day trying to find out who had hired me. Well, he finally found out and then Stelco did. The truth is that I am not a co-op student; I was failed out of that course and into s-year regular, non-major science. Another stunt that the co-op program pulled on many people, including -myself, was the elimination of a short sentence in both the 1969 and 1970 editions of the uniwlat calendar. It is now stated in the calendar that of the 348.50 dollars fees for four months, 60 dollars goes to allow you to be a co-op student; to use the services of the co-ordination dept., and to subsidize professors salaries for the summer months. Too bad for the student in the ‘A’ stream who switches into regular after his 2A term. What a waste of 180 dollars. This sixty dollars is almost 20 percent of the tuition section of your fees. If the companies need student labour to work for them dirt cheap, one would think they could pay this 60 dollar tuition surcharge. How would you like a 20,percent reduction in fees. Don’t bother with either co-op or with Stelco. After a year of working in a filthy, super-polluting company, a gross wage of 2.89 dollars an hour is insult to your intelligence as a science student of uniwat.

Natural Life Styles - 1 is one of the latest in the seemingly endless parade of publications trying to cash in on the rapidly-growing “naturalfoods- back- to- the- land” fads, especially among young people. This is not to say that it is automatically bad or exploitationistic; but a lot of misinformation and muddled logic has been passed around recently scientifically inept bY “authorities” about foods natural and unatural -- and a lot of it, unfortunatly, has found its way to Natural Life Style’s pages. Some of it is perhaps understandable, since the group which puts out NLS also owns a “natural foods” store in New York, and much af the magazine’s advertising, if not all, comes from similar operations. NLS is also on touchy ground in many articles which take definite sides on scientific arguerrents about nutrition which simply have not been resolved yet. The article on sugar boarders on the inane. The author attacks sugar for being a “foodless food”, then recommends honey as a substitute when honey contains the exact part of the sugar (sucrose) molecule which may be harmful. However, no present research indicates that a sugar (even sucrose or honey> is harmful in .small amounts. What is important to prevent hardening of the arteries and heart disease (the author attacks sugar for other reasons> is the proportions of starches and sugars in the diet. Usually about 40-50 percent of the total calories per day come from carbohydrates (starches and sugars 1. The main source of carbohydrate should be starches grains, breads, cereals, and starchy vegetables - rather than sugars - sucrose, whether brown or white sugar, molasses, honey. Through digestion, most of the sugar from fruits gives the same end product as starch. Therefore,

“natural” fruit sugar of its end product, pure dextrose Cdglucose> ,probably would not be harmful insofar as heart disease is concerned. But further research is needed before the verdict on sugar is in. The editors of NLS use a very sly device at the front of the magazine, however, saying all opinions expressed are only personal ones and not those of the publisher, leaving them morally and scientifically unresponsible for the contents. It is too easy, nowever, to notice the unfavorable parts of NLS at first reading : it. contains many wiorthwhile sections. An interview with Euell Gibbons - author of the Stalking the Wild Asparagus trilogy - is delightful and often informative, although it is unfortunately presented in a Playboy-interview style. But Mr. Gibbons, in talking about the ecological crisis, lays it on the line: “Unless we can control the population, all other measures are going to fail,” and “Anybody in the world can sit down with a-piece of paper and figure out how long it takes before the world gets ten feet deep in ( non-returnable > glass bottles. And, in reviewing Georges Ohsawa’s recently-popular dogma of macrobiotics, NLS really is critical in the finest sense of the word, relating the good points and the valid criticisms of the plan. There are plenty of interesting “natural” recipes for you to try if you are unfamiliar with the natural foods movement but interested, and other articles on herbs, farming pots may interest you.

E’Gmds is a flick which could put you through a bit; on the surface the aim of the film is to portray a revolt of the very young, built out of a mix of realism and fantasy. In one sense the result is successful and likely to win some acclaim; in another it fails utterly and we can only wonder why the producer would try such a shallow dupe.

The story develops out of a jaunt innocently begun by Michel, 14 and Paul, 15 during which a new-found freedom encourages them to stay away from the circumstances they both loathe. Their friendship is premised in the absence of warmth and understanding they both exinto the country,

Many insights ‘now fall into place. Michel, at first the more mature, independent and determined of the two, has undergone

transformation; from the healthy, gentle and innocently artful character at the outset, the first to really whisper of disobedience, she has become a personality appendage of the little cottage .- her freedom, once undefined and defiant has ripened to the role of house mother and wife. Once determined to ‘make a go of it’ herself, she is now supportive of Paul who must make a man’s way in the world, work, provide bread in. . . All of which is slightly congruous. Paul also changes. The spur to his freedom came from his father’s overwhelming business success and the insignificance to which it condemned the son i at one point he wishes remorsefully that his father ‘did something useful’ like Michel’s

The observance of traditional social rites to which the plot condemns the actors is perhaps the final straw; the initial motion of the film arises from the freedom of the youth’s lovemaking, awkward and fumbling yet uncomplicated by moral trivia. Marriage and

Abbie Hoffman suggests bombs, street fighting, underground newspapers, guerilla radio stritions and painting slogans on i+.alls. Iloffman provides explicit practical instructions for doing all this and tells you how to live ii.ithout the benefit of money while you’re working on it. If you want to do these things, Steal this Book is terrific. It tells you how. And to be consistent, you should steal it. So much for what Steal this Book is all about. Now comes the crux of the problem I have suggested. Is this method( ology i the best one?Is it even a good one? I Itrfl’man‘s method is based on an organization - something like an underground army - to fight the existing organization. Does it make sense to fight organization \vi t h more‘organizat ion? Despite ‘the old adage, everyone knows that fightihg fire with water, works best.

The success of league charity efforts has been such that the close of 1963 the National Board* of Directors authorized the establishment of an ACBL charity foundation to administer funds raised by the League beginning julyl, 1964. Since that date, the foundation has approved over 750,000 dollars in grants to such organizations as the american cancer society, the arthritis foundation and national tuberculosis association.

Malcolm Lowry: The Man and His Work. ed. George Woodcock. University of British Columbia Press. pp. 174. $4.00 paper. Malcolm Lowry’s lifelong struggle with the twin devils of severe depression and exuberant alcoholism, of which some fifteen years were spent in Canada, produced at least one masterpiece - Under the Volcano - as well as several other works which have only recently become available for public discussion. Having already achieved a solid “underground” (i.e. nonacademic) reputation. Lowry now seems to be entering the sacred pantheon of writers certified “Safe to Teach in University.” Taking best things first, editor George Woodcock has included two personal reminiscences about Lowry, as well as several of his poems, letters, and the preface to the French edition of Under the - Volcano, which together provide some insight into his complex, selfdestructive, and agonizingly . creative character. Brief encomia by Earle Birney and Conrad Aitken also help to sketch in the background of a maverick genius. whose life paralleled Hemingway’s and whose work was at least as impressive. The

balance

of

this

volume

consists of several critical essays which will be most accessible to those already familiar with Lowry’s work, and should be read only after the more primary material has been digested. These essays very widely in quality, ranging from such groundbreaking contributions as Geoffrey Durrant’s research on Lowry as a neo-Platonist, to the more conventional “symbol hunting” of Robert Heilman, who is prone to phrases such as “implied coalescence of many levels of meaning” - they seem perfectly straight forward until you begin to think about them. Also valuable are W.H. New’s “Lowry’s Reading” and Paul Tiessen’s “Malcolm Lowry and the Cinema,” which delineate some of the more obscure sources of his creativity. One warning note: Perle Epstein’s “Swinging the Maelstrom : Malcolm Lowry and Jazz” is flawed by a misconception as to the nature of “Dixieland,” which does not, except for funeral music, always proceed from mournfulness to joy, and she is also careless about the usage of “blues” and “hot rhythm,” which are ‘black musical forms quite different form the White jazz she is ostensibly discussing. This aside, she makes some very clever, if not

entirely convincing, comparisons between Lowry’s writings and the music of Beiderbixe, Lang, and their con temporaries. On balance, then, this book will be of interest ot Lowry aficionados and to those unfamiliar with his work, although the latter should probably ignore the critical material until they have grappled with Under the =Volcano, a disturbing, numbing, but ultimately purifying novel which is not so much read as experienced.

Have you ever played inner-tube waterpolo, and co-ed broomball? Would you like to learn the art of judo and karate or perhaps learn to swim? Possibly you would like to dive in scuba gear or paddle whitewater or learn to fence. If you’re a hockey buff, you can play floor hockey, ball hockey, competitive or recreational hockey all at the same time. Are you a pool shark, on our national table tennis team, or have a 10 speed bicycle? Would you rather just take out a ball and shoot, or dive in the pool, or jog the ring road, or work on the 15-man weight machine? Better still, do you want to help organize your intramural program instructor, as a swimming lifeguard, official, team captain, or coach? If you ever wan ted to do any, all, or more of these things - inves tiga te our in tramural program - it serves you. The intramural program at the university of Waterloo is the most varied in the country. It offers four levels of programs, combining elements of competition, recreation, instruction and club activities. In all there are over 90 distinct programs in which you can participate.

Intercollegiate sports on campus this fall takes on a new look as many new teams will be faced in the recently formed Ontario Universities Athletic Association. This new league formation has forced the footballing warriors to begin the season on September 11th. The lancers will be the opponents in Windsor on that day. The first home game will be played at Seagram’s against Western on Saturday, September 18th.

In what many people call Canada’s fastest growing sport, the warrior volleyball team is out to prove itself this year. To get in a full practice each day with no bothersome interferences from other individuals, coach Gerrie Baycroft has scheduled his team workouts for 6: 30 in the morning, four times each week. “It will take some getting used to, but at least we won’t get into the hassle of varying practice times each day because of other teams” Baycroft said. The coach encourages any interested freshmen ‘to attend the first practice on the September 28th. A full slate of exhibition games are planned to preceed the first league match on November 6. The schedule includes trips to Sudbury and Indiana as well as exhibition games and tournaments against Ontario volleyball association teams.

corn binations. At each meet held, there will be over 23 competitive categories _ from an easy $4 mile course to the more difficult 5 mile version. Organizational meetings will begin on Thursday, September 16.

ORIENTEERING

Coach Baycroft is also the man to see if you happen to be an orienteerer . This exciting new sport for enthusiasts involves outdoor hiking or running on foot in the woods with a map, compass and wits. Very similar to a car rally, this sport may be done also on skis, bicycles, snowshoes, at night, or in

TRACK AND FIELD

This year’s track and field warriors will begin their fourth run at the league championships. The coming season, however, will prove more difficult for the warriors than the ones previous. Losses of many stars will leave the warriors to once again depend on a good track turnout in order to attempt to boost the point total with second and third place finishes. Both Tommie and Sammie Pearson will not appear for the warriors. Tommie has accepted a scholarship to the University of Texas at El Paso and Sammie will be wearing the purple jersey of Waterloo’s most serious threat, the university of Western Ontario. Western has been slowly building up a strong contingent because qf their college of education. Last year’s 400 meter champion, Russ Gnyp will be attending York University next year. GnYP enrolled in the business school no way a there because, “there’s guy can make a living after getting

an arts degree”. Distance star Brian Bisson will also be missing from the warrior team this fall-as will 800 meter OQAA champion Kipchoge Sumner . All is not dim for the team, however, as top hurdler George Neeland will be back as will sprinter-jumper Dennis McGann and last year’s gold medalist in the triple jump, Bill Lindley . Heading the list of freshmen will be Mike Murray, a sprinter from Ottawa. Mike has proven himself to be one of Canada’s finest speedsters and will compete this weekend at the national championships along with javelin thrower Glen Arbeau, McGann Neeland, the Pearsons and Lindley . Murray, McGann and Neeland running for the Tiger Organization track club formed three-quarters ofthe sprint relay team which won the Ontario championships with the fastest relay time in the country this year. With a fourth sprinter added, that team should be far ahead of the opposition this fall. Another McGann will be trying for a warrior postiion this year. Andy, four years younger than his brother Dennis will be out for the triple and long jumps.

Heading the list of returnees this fall will be , halfback Rick Wiedenhoft and most of last year’s stubborn defensive line.‘ Outstanding on that line were Stu Brian Westell, Mike Koch, Cheevers and Brian Beatty. Beatty at 195 pounds was the outstanding rookie last season after playing the quarterback position in high school. Wiedenhoft, who played effectively in punt returns last year may be a running back if he proves unsuccessful at the quarterback position, his prime objective this season. Rick House, a nineteen year old second year planning student is also vying for the quarterback position. House stands 6’2”, weighs 195 pounds and has five years of high school football as a background.

collegiate in the Toronto area. Another newcomer from that district will be Greg Schmaltz, an all star tackle. Almost fifty ball players have been committed to attend the camp later this month but the coaches expect seventy on the opening day. Western and Windsor will be the two teams faced twice by the warriors throughout the first part of the schedule with single games against Mat, Queens, Guelph and Lutheran thrown in. Frank Cosentino’s Western squad could pose problems for the warriors, but the coaches are hopeful for a generative offense which would make games of 1-O and 2-I a part of Waterloo’s history. The emotion packed U of W WUC game of yesteryear will be revitalized on October 23rd. The ‘baroo‘ trophy which was presented to the victors of this game will be taken out of storage. The warriors have a 2-l edge over the golden hawks in the series,

The warrior’s third quarterback alternative is Chris D’Arcy who hails from Lawrence Park.

J earning humanism from Africa’s .socialists by

O.E. Delmos

0

NE OF THE MOST vicio.us and idiotic myths inculcated into the brain of western q-an is the alleged superiority of western society which, up till this day, is held up as a model for the rest of the world. Third World countries have been, and still are, judged by the extent to which they are willing to slave in order to be more like us. And heaven help them if they fail to live up to our noble standards ! But, as the great Bertrand Russell once said, the only positive contribution the west can make to poorer countries is its scientific know-how-though this contribution is rather limited beyond a certain point, since it becomes destructive and dehumanizing. Though it is wrong to assume that all from the west is good, it would of course be wrong also to think that all that comes out of AfroAsia or Latin America is ipso facto good and worthy of imitation. The fact remains, however, that many countries and cultures of the Third World can teach us a great deal. A case in point are some of the social structures which evolved over the centuries in Africa and which at present are reaching higher stages in some parts of that continent. Probably the two most conspicuous and relevant, examples are the republics of Zambia and Tanzania, with whom Canada

happens to enjoy friendly relations. Both these african countries are headed by philosopher-statesmen, with president Kaunda of Zambia being a prime exponent of african humanism and president Nyerere of Tanzania having emerged as a major thinker of socialist theory and practice. However, the two terms ‘humanism’ and ‘socialism’ are more or less interchangeable in this context as both men try to create a socialism with a humanistic face (or vice versa ). The most striking feature of Nyerere’s african socialism-known as UJAMAAis the successful blending of frequently contradictory notions. UJAMAA-which literally translated means ‘family-hood’ on a national scale-builds on past nation21 foundations with their purely indigenous characteristics which are fostered in such a way that they cannot interfere with whatever scientific technology the country needs in order to achieve a certain standard of living. ’ UJAMAA recognizes that true socialism embodies certain universal concepts such as the dignity of man or economic equality, and absence of exploitation. Towards these ends Tanzania has made great strides, for it is moving towards a social system where people will control what they produce as well as the tools they use, while private

How a university

ownership will be strictly limited. The ‘Arusha Declaration’ of Nyerere’s party spells out these goals in very clear term‘s and it has now become the guideline for Nyerere’s government. The leaders of this government cannot own shares and they are prevented from holding industrial management positions. They also cannot receive more than one salary and they cannot be landlords. Industrialization is deemphasized in favor of hard work and intellectual‘ development. Private profitmaking is greatly discouraged, social cooperation is fostered as the major ideal. Similarly, president Kaunda is advocating a social philosophy that puts man in the center while it discourages competition and self-seeking individualism. Soqial harmony and mutual help are the cornerstones of his african humanism which again is deeply rooted in african society. As Kaunda points out, black Africa has a situationexperiencing mind in contrast to the west’s problem-solving mind. Where the west believes in aggression and conquest, the african sees enjoyment of human relationships and the sharing of experiences, as the most de’sirable goals in life. This becomes particularly obvious in the way less pr’ivileged groups are treated; e.g. old ‘people are highly venerated and rather in zambian. society. By contrast,

committee

being old in North America amounts to a severe punishment of the most disgraceful sort. What is significant in these two african philosophies can perhaps best be summed up in these four points: 1) They are deeply rooted in the national culture and background of the country concerned. 2 1 Foreign philosophies and ideas are used very cautiously and the mere imitation of foreign models has been avoided. 3) There is a very definite attempt to make the present and the futurerevolutionary though they may often be-a natural outgrow-th of the past. 4 1 Most important of all, aggressive behaviour, mindless materialism, greed and the- equation of technology with progress are totally rejected. Both countries have of course a long way to go’before these ideals are fully realized, and they have no illusions that this involves a long and hard struggle. What is important is that both have taken significant first steps and that neither has any intentions to tolerate the corruption of these ideals, which could lead .to a totally different system-a fate that has befallen all too many revolutions in the past.

separate what should be the job of an open-minded, farsighted trouble-shooter from that of a traditional administrator. Perhaps the former characteristic is what students need to exclusively interpret their interests to the administration. If this is the case, such a person should likely be expected to report directly to the administration president. A similar position existed three years ago in the form-of and the gentleman occupying the job a “provost” eventually resigned-a casualty of being subordinate to another vice-pesident and of conflicting loyalties on one hand to student leaders, and on the other to his administrative employers. This conflict is testimony even to the most naive entering university that the aims and purposes of university officials are often not what students either think or expect them to be. While three years ago, students argued the administration president should deal directly with student leaders, they have now decided some type of permanent staff to devote full-time to student affairs is desiable. By its refusal to appoint Evans, the administration seems to view this position as chiefly adniinistrative; perhaps as a buffer between students and administration. Students can hardly let this happen without sacrificng their own rights. In fact, the’ administration might even consider a single academic, yet alternatives to employing whatever it decides, (and it has indicated it, alone will make the decision) it has already demonstrated that supposed honorably constituted committees can be ignored or manipulated to serve the administration’s own indecision or purpose. And it is for this reason that the following excerpts are printed. The meeting in question is that of the advisory search committee for vice-president of personnel and services held june 17. rats June 3.

really works

Ignoring students and manipulating OR THE PAST YEAR, this university has been without a senior liason official between the administration and the student body. Some months ago, a committee to search for, interview and appoint such a person was established by the new administration president Burton Matthews. Members of the committee included staff representative Allan Lawkence, administration reps I. Mackay, Pat Robertson and Ernie Lucy, faculty reps Ken Woolner and dean G. Kenyon, and students Carl Sulliman and Phillip English. The committee’s preliminary choice of candidate-Al Evans, a university counsellor affiliated with St. Paul‘s college-was sent by the committee to talk to various individuals and groups on campus who would give the committee feedback outlining their opinions of Evans. The committee‘s final recommendation was then to be made to the administration president, also a committee member. June 17 was the time at which, on the basis of the feedback, the committee was to recommend the appointment of Evans to the president. The fact that such a recommendation never came remains somewhat mysterious, especially to many of the committee members themselves, whose views are are reproduced below. There seems to be every indication that the student needs for a sympathetic senior official have been ignored because Evans was not considered the proper bureaucrat by his would-be administrative colleages. Sources have confirmed that in addition to the undergraduate and graduate representatives, the staff and half the faculty reps also agreed Evans would be and excellent vice-president of personnel and services. Despite written support for Evans, each student committee member, as well as from the president of both the federation of students and the graduate student union, the administration has chosen to leave the position vacant for at least another academic year. The delay may be a blessing in disguise. Whil,e it seems jhe administration should certainly be condemned for tota,lly ignoring student opinion on an issue which concerns them most-the appointment of a man who, in effect, will be ,the liason between students and administration-the d&Y may serve more clearly

Englkh says no specific points were presented at the june Ii meeting discrediting Evans-the opposition only had “feelings”. Knglisli says the facts point to accepting Evans.

English, “this means that the majority of campus is behind Mr. Evans.” English remarks that the fact that the committee did not receive one shread of negative feedback frohl the people who dealt with Evans is highly significant. English conclud& that some committee members‘ outright refusal to consider a probationary term could only result ram theil “absolute certainty that Evans is not capable.” He says it is amazing they could come to such a firm conclusion from such “flimsy evidence.” July. Minutes from committee secretary members re. june 17 meeting.

Ernie Lucy to all

The letter claims there was “no concensus” to appoint Evans and that subsequently, on this basis as well as on “reactions Dr. Matthews had had elsewhere” Matthews refused the appointment. Lucy reports Matthews as saying no appointment was likely in the coming academic year.

member: Canadian university press (CUP) and underground press syndicate (UPS), subscriber: liberation news service (LNS), and chevron international news service (GINS), the chevron is a newsfeature tabloid published offset fifty-two times a year ( 1971-72) by the federation of students, Incorporated, university of Waterloo. Content is the responsibility of the chevron staff, independent of the federation and the university administration. Offices in the campus center; phone (519) 578-7070 or university local 3443; telex 0295-748. summer circulation : 8,500 Alex Smith, editor, So ends another summer at this university. . . and with it, the largest-ever summer chevron ever printed. At 32 pages, this paper is twice as big as the regular issues of other university papers at the heaviest fall-winter time of year. Many articles are for the special interestgf first-year students, bungling, etc., so older people, . . such as those introducing clubs, services, activities, administration please don’t fault Us on that. A word perhaps to students who will be here irl the fall, though god knows why We bother (judging from past response) and that is reatfy. Reaiiy, you ought to drop i;) to the chevron office in the campus center. There will be plenty to get involved with this year as fa, as news writing, sports writing, layout, copy-editing and photography are concerned. And if anyone likes graphics’-knows what acetate, lithopaque, letrasrt and register maf’ks afe, We wouid reai$~ be ecstatic. Aiso needed: experts at line drawing and people who can do superb cartooning that rnakes a point. We note with some trepidation that administration president Burt Mathews has secretly departed for Africa where he is investigating more lucrative job positions. The university of the Congo is rumored to have an opening for vice-president, personnel and services. And wil~:i’s this, Mlgod? Th e G azette publishing a freshman edition. Indeed. if the &zctte does anyihizg more to destroy its credibility, it might as well sell ali the pretty ne!rv typsseiiing equipment 2!;i*. chased. We see also that at the same time We were away in weeks just gone by, Our faithful servant the chevron editor was also Away. He reports his journey to Trinidad and G:-ryana for three weeks was most rewarding, especially the impounding of camera equipment by the Trinidad customs, the succumbing of his travelling companion to pneumanoid bronchitis, and the missing of a return flight when a cab driver locked his ignition keys in his car trunk with the iuggage. Of memorabl:? note were the Therophosa lablondae (sp?) and Brassolids not found. Lycosids by the web-full, but oh, for a Therophosid! Perhaps more on this later. A word to the wise: Form 30. if it’s happening, We want to hear about it. And if you want to know what that’s all about call Charlotte at 3443. We close with a message for Reg: “lch mache mit!” Following in Our footsteps, We have: production editor: Al (“Andy” vs. “Larry”) Lukachko coordinators: Steve lzma (photo) Mel Rotman (entertainment) Dennis McGann (sports), Rod Hickman & rats (features) Und alzo barry brown, dianne caron, george kaufman, martin ahrens, Pamela ahrens, alan gough, kathy dorschner, dave cubberley, mike canivet, irene chepeskie, jan stoody, paul steuwe, jan goeller, martin rutte, linda arnold, Colin hamer, brenda hann, doug torney, joe handler, dan andrews, krista tomory who said she’d help and slept through final deadline, peter davidson and two sports writers whose names have been misplaced in the General Confusion, but whom We love anyway. Time for a few private staff notes, now. We would like to say Goodbye to three hangers-on: Colin Hamer, who passes away to Althouse in London where he learns how to sell dope to highschoolers and turn the profit over to the department of education; Tom Purdy, who dies within the weak of Progenesis Inev’itabilis at his wedding-to-be; and to Andy Lukachko, earstwhile Cub Reporter Who Made It To The Bigtime As Production Editor Manager and Editor Protem Of The Chevron. But Andy will be back part-time, eight courses in the fall or not. We, in our benevolence, however, have granted Andy Our Last Rites which gives him, sole among all men, the right to say to Us, “Do it yourself!” Until September 10, that is. Partings having been made, We retire into the bog where We become flushed with insipient nostalgia. Peace. .

Hi George, howareyoutoday ?youlookfine ? ’ You klzow, my wife and kids and I went dn a picnic the other day. So much time at the ofJice is making me a little tired, Nothing I can ‘t handle of course, But I thoqgbt that a nice little trip in the country would be refreshiqg, You know, the closest I be been to the real outdoors in years Has been the golfcourse, but it ‘s only in Don Mills, Or, ha! d when we go to the graveyard to visit mother, It ‘s really amazing the way they keep those acres ofpass nicely mown. But, anyway, t-hat picni@st wasn ‘t worth it. We thought we ‘do some place where there wouldn ‘t be many people, Just like what we use to do when we were kids, But the damn insects! All over the place and in the food. Andyou can hardly.find a place to sit because of all the weedsandbushes Some of those weeds are really wicked, They cut and scratch you; _ ’ Some of them are poison. I keep thinking about Venusian fly-traps -the plants that are alive And can kill. I’ve never seen any, of course, and maybe there are only the small ones around, But they could spread and pow. Maybe the g0vernmen.t should clean up on all the weeds within ten miles of the big cities,

Hey,

buddy, I went into town the otherday; I try not to Ro there very often. But I saw the usual strange things. Like how people can ‘t say hello to everyone, So they say hello to no one; (Yeah, Istart to feel a.little pissed off When I smile at them and they ‘re real quick to ignore me), And their cars and their rushin ’ around ---god! I remember the tanks during the war. ’ they had better manners When they weye &htin Than those city drivers. Yeah, it all J2els so dead, Especially downtown where the concrete ‘s thick And flows everywhere like ice and snow, Or a tooth-breakin ’ frosting on a rotten cake. Maybe it ‘s their sweet-teeth that makes them want to cover everythinx. ('Hey there ‘J an empty lot - it ‘s worth more with four houses and a hotel Than with those bloody weeds p-owing wild. ” T/!ey can ‘t stand to see anything grow wild But the other day I saw something really strange down there : There were some big huge trees growin ‘! The branches stretched way out over the concrete, The leaves spread and reached for the sun; When the wind came they tested their freedom, But they weken ‘t free. . Buddy,, those people haven ‘t seen anything livin ‘andgrowin ’ wild for so long w it.
